U-M Hockey vs MSU - Saturday Open Thread
Unexpected blowout road win & beaucoup PIM last night. Sparty got spanked on home ice, and their inner goon came out. They're going to bring more energy tonight, so we need to match that while staying disciplined. Make them pay like last night: 3 PPG for, 0 against, 1 SHG for.

Please tell me we have a good goalie coming in next year. This year has been brutal in net.
January 20th, 2024 at 8:37 PM ^
I have said for years ….
the only thing between M and multiple national titles is a top 5 college goalie
January 20th, 2024 at 8:39 PM ^
It is not the goalie. Brutal defense seems part of this team's DNA. We need blue line help first and foremost.
January 20th, 2024 at 8:48 PM ^
Upvoted, however …… a hot hockey goalie is one of the only players/positions in all of sports that can single handedly win … not just a game … but a title.
we need a goalie that can put up a .930 save % on an average day
January 20th, 2024 at 8:45 PM ^

January 20th, 2024 at 9:12 PM ^
Video was unavailable so challenge is unsuccessful but we keep our time out.
BTN minus
January 20th, 2024 at 9:13 PM ^
This officiating is a joke... as is the quality of the Michigan Radio commentary. Branstadder would have been a more informative game call.
January 20th, 2024 at 9:23 PM ^
For better or worse Al is our guy
I don't think anyone else wanted to do it when he volunteered
Now he is a fixture and a folk hero
January 20th, 2024 at 9:14 PM ^

Just an atrocious collapse by a team that keeps doing it this season. Such a wasted opportunity.

Game over
Better luck next time

January 20th, 2024 at 9:25 PM ^
Ugh, 7-5 them. Extremely disappointing after last night. After a promising start to the 2nd period, two turnovers led to two Sparty goals, which turned into 6 unanswered goals. An epic collapse. /allthefacepalms
January 20th, 2024 at 9:26 PM ^
An opportunity to get an enormous sweep to start the 2nd half…and instead they gack up a 4-1 lead at home in half a period. Reminds me of some of the late Red teams. Brutal
January 20th, 2024 at 9:28 PM ^
Other other game: AK-Anchorage 4, Providence 0, final.
January 21st, 2024 at 11:23 AM ^
UM is 15 in the PWR after yesterday, after moving up to 11/12 on Saturday. However, this year the CCHA autobid is not in the top-16 so that means the top-14 go in.
The teams UM has played so far: Wisconsin - 4, MSU - 7, Prov - 9, Minn - 11, Mass- 13, SCSU-14.

I did hear Eernisse's name mentioned in the 3rd, so he did get back in the game.

12 goals in a weekend and only 1 win. Such a frustrating team

Am I off-base to have severe doubts about Naurato? I thought the team underperformed relative to talent on the ice last year, but hoped maybe it was all the disruption early in the year and first-year head coach stuff. This year, they’re clearly radically underperforming the talent level, and it seems to my (radically) untrained eye to implicate the coaching stuff: D zone discipline, and discipline & execution in general. Mental errors all over the place. And obviously the late collapses that come with that. Am I wrong to suspect Naurato is big part of what’s missing/not right with the team last 1.5 seasons?
